GreatSchools Rating

The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as “Above Average” and the lowest “Below Average.” It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.

Methodology

State Rating

The Oklahoma Legislature adopted an A-F School Grading System to provide incentives to schools for challenging all students to reach high levels of college and career readiness. A school's grade is based on its ability to help students meet grade-level performance standards as well as academic growth. A school’s grade also includes factors such as graduation and dropout rates, and attendance rates for elementary schools.

Cross-state ratings

SchoolGrades.org uses a rigorous, common standard to compare schools across the United States. It adjusts for differences in academic standards across the states and accounts for each school’s unique economic profile. School letter grades are based on how well students perform based on an international standard of excellence.

About the test

In 2014-2015 Oklahoma used the Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests (OCCT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The OCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oklahoma. The goal is for all students to score at or above the satisfactory level on the test.

Schools that are well organized, safe, and supportive are much more likely to be successful.

Oklahoma School Climate survey

Scores are based on parent, student, and teacher ratings on a 1-5 scale, with 5 representing an excellent school climate, and 1 representing a school climate most in need of improvement.

The Oklahoma School Climate Survey was offered to all Oklahoma schools as a way to earn bonus points towards their state accountability rating. The state required that the survey be completed by at least 90% of faculty, 20% of students, and 10% of parents. The survey covered school safety, environment, and quality of instruction.
